German term or phrase:im beigem Leder gehalten

Das Innenleben ist im beigem Leder gehalten.

Context: shoes

Can anyone tell me what is the significance of "gehalten" here? Thanks in advance.

Explanation:The use of "im", as opposed to "in" would seem to imply reference to a specific or previously referenced beige leather. Without more context, this is hard to judge, but I would read it as " the inner lining is (also) in the (same)beige leather".

Dierk Widmann: As there is a typo in the German original, I would be careful to jump to conclusions. "In beigem Leder" or "Im beigen Leder" are correct grammar. However, the latter is not normal usage.

-> No, it is not normal usage, Dierk. It was just a suggestion. Thanks for the feedback.
